Michelle Obama Arm Procedure Is Newest Plastic Surgery Trend

Upper arm lift procedures have increased more than 4,300 percent in the last decade, with thousands of woman opting to have plastic surgery to get defined biceps like Michelle Obama.

The first lady inspired more than 15,000 women to go under the knife last year, compared to the 300 who had the procedure done in 2000, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The most common arm procedures include liposuction and brachioplasty, which involves the reshaping of the under part of the upper arm.

"Women are paying more attention to their arms in general and are becoming more aware of options to treat this area," ASPS president Dr. Gregory Evans said in a statement.

The ASPS found that Obama topped the list of most desirable arms, followed by Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Biel, Demi Moore, and Kelly Ripa.

Brachioplasty is a good option for patients who may have lost a large amount of weight, causing excess skin to hang from their upper arms, the surgeons said. For those just looking to tone up, liposuction is the best route.

"When I saw Kate’s nose, I just knew it was the perfect nose for me," patient Jessica Blaier told the New York Daily News. "Other celebrities had parts of their noses that I wanted, but Kate’s nose had it all. The bridge swoops. The tip doesn’t fall when she smiles. And it’s feminine."
